Pink diamond ring by David Morris worn by Alexandra Daddario

The room fell completely silent as Alexandra Daddario stepped onto the floor, the flashing cameras immediately catching the jaw-dropping brilliance of the Pink diamond ring by David Morris. Valued at an astonishing estimate of US$1.6 million – US$2.6 million, the masterpiece featured a breathtaking 14.63-carat Radiant-cut orange-pink diamond at its heart, officially graded as a rare “Fancy Orangy-pink” specimen. Flanked perfectly by two triangular-cut colorless diamonds, the architectural setting seemed to amplify the stone’s warm, sunset-like fire with every slight movement of her hand. As she casually held her hand up near her face, the rare gem perfectly complemented her striking blue eyes, turning a high-fashion moment into an unforgettable display of timeless elegance and elite craftsmanship.

Specializing in the most-prized gemstones, from Colombian emeralds to sapphires found in the remote hills of Kashmir, David Morris celebrates color, flawless craftsmanship, and unique creativity in jewelry design. This is the jewelry house’s first major book.
David Morris established his eponymous fine jewelry house in 1962 at the height of the Swinging Sixties and quickly gained a global reputation for his opulent use of the rarest, most extraordinary gemstones and for innovative design sought by jewelry connoisseurs the world over. The house’s creations—now overseen by his son Jeremy Morris—are all designed and handcrafted to exacting standards in the New Bond Street atelier.
This sumptuous slipcased tome, featuring brand-new photography and newly commissioned gouaches created especially for the book, delves into the enchanting history of David Morris, aka the London Jeweler, whose legacy shines as brilliantly as the gemstones the house atelier transforms into objects of art. Over the years the house has gained a reputation for adorning Hollywood, British, and European royals from Elizabeth Taylor to Diana, Princess of Wales. Today, a David Morris jewel still radiates star quality, connecting the brand’s storied past to its future. This first major monograph debuts some of the house’s latest, most innovative designs as well as a large selection of its most famous pieces, and beautifully showcases the sophistication and creativity of one of the most masterful jewelers working today.

Centaure Rose Gold Necklace worn by Kaley Cuoco

The late August humidity of New York City melted away the moment Kaley Cuoco stepped into the air-conditioned grandeur of the Metropolitan Museum of Art for an exclusive black-tie gala. All eyes immediately gravitated toward her neckline, which was adorned with the breathtaking Centaure rose gold necklace by Hermès. The avant-garde masterpiece perfectly balanced the warmth of its rose gold structure with the deep, mysterious allure of black jade, while a brilliant constellation of colorless diamonds and brown diamonds caught the shifting gallery lights with every movement. Framed against her minimalist, midnight-black velvet gown, the equestrian-inspired high jewelry piece served as the ultimate statement of modern luxury, effortlessly securing her place as the most captivating figure of the evening.

Emerald Cocktail Ring Trivia:

Note: While some sources link the name “cocktail ring” to the idea of flashing a large gemstone to signal a desire for an alcoholic beverage, this is more of a cultural anecdote than a definitively proven origin. The rings’ popularity arose from their association with the vibrant and rebellious atmosphere of 1920s cocktail parties.

Graff Ruby Diamond Ring

White gold ring by Graff. The main stone is a 5.56ct cushion-cut Mozambican ruby, set with 2 heart-shaped diamonds and set with round brilliant-cut diamonds.

An intense passion for diamonds has been the driving force in Laurence Graff’s life since he first sat, over 60 years ago, at a jeweller’s bench in Hatton Garden, London’s jewellery quarter. His story of metamorphosis is very similar to that of a diamond – transformed from raw, rough carbon into a precious, ravishingly refined gem. ‘I have always been fascinated by diamonds,’ he says; ‘I remember looking at them, studying them closely to understand their purity, and the way they had been cut. It was an inherent feeling that has turned in to a lifelong passion.’
